In February 1909 Erich Heckel embarked on a trip to Italy that lasted several months. In Rome, where he stayed for a long time, he created numerous drawings and watercolors. However, the ancient monuments and historical sites were only of little interest to him. Instead it was the landscapes, the light of the south and the everyday life of the people that caught his attention and found their way into his works. In a letter to Rosa Schapire from April 16, 1909, he reports on the surroundings near his house in Rome, describing "beautiful gardens and fields on soft slopes", where the vineyards are still red, and the crops in an intense green (Erich Heckel, April 16, 1909, quoted from: Karlheinz Gabler, Erich Heckel und sein Kreis. Dokumente, Fotos, Briefe, Schriften, Stuttgart 1983, p. 61). The works made during this period are characterized by these impressions, they show the intense colors of the south and the warm light. He often captured what he saw on site in drawings, as is the case with the ink drawing "Campagna-Landschaft" (SHG 366, "Campagna-Landschaft" will be offered in Online Sale on June 9, 2024, visiti our Online Sale: www.onlineonly.kettererkunst.com). Some details of the drawing are altered in the watercolor and the brushwork also differs from the lines. The motif, however, is unmistakable and it can be assumed that Erich Heckel transferred the pictorial idea onto paper in watercolor in the studio at a later point. In his letter to Rosa Schapire he also wrote: "It is quite far to other places - Campagna, Alban Hills, etc, so that I only drew here." It seemed to have been a special gift of Erich Heckel to keep the impressions of what he saw in his mind for a longer time. Heinz Köhn, former director of the Folkwang Museum in Essen and confidant of the artist, found the folllowing wonderful words:"Heckel's eye for the finest gradations in the colorful world and his memory, which retains sensory impressions without letting them fade, are astonishing. German art has to be grateful for numerous works of an inexhaustible magic." (Heinz Köhn, Erich Heckel, Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Munich 1959, p. 29) [AR].
